It will always be a favorite. I love this album. So intense. So much
different form alot of his other stuff, jus tin terms of the sound. Listen
to it against the electronic eye stuff from the period and you will notice
it sounds clearer and crisper than the others of that period.
I too, quite accidentally, ended up listening to Dickey H yesterday. I
fired up my old Honda to get it working again and as I drove it to the shop
the only thing to listen to in the car was a mix tape I'd made for someone
on this list ages ago, like 1996 or so, of all his CD's. he only had 6 or 7
then! but it was great, Just made me get back in touch with what I love and
why I still make music.

Someone else mentioned it is similar but I disagree. At the pint he
made Number of Magic, he was getting out of the ambient stuff and more into
hardcore and funkier stuff like he does now. The hardcore I could do
without, although he has done it to great effect on the Loopstatic (SP?)
record recently. Number is much funkier and grittier than other stuff he's
done. And he plays guitar on it!!! How cool is that?!?!?
